4 left parenthesis 3 x plus 1 right parenthesisless than4

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 4(3x + 1) < 4 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the \(4\) on the left side: \[ 12x + 4 < 4 \]

2. Subtract \(4\) from both sides: \[ 12x < 0 \]

3. Divide both sides by \(12\): \[ x < 0 \]

So, the solution to the inequality \( 4(3x + 1) < 4 \) is \( x < 0 \).
